When you think of Troy, your mind probably jumps to Brad Pitt’s chiseled jawline or the giant wooden horse that ended it all. But —the 8-part miniseries co-produced by BBC One and Netflix —tries something a little different. Instead of a pure action blockbuster, this show digs into the "behind-the-walls" psychological toll of a 10-year siege. The Story: Love, War, and a Whole Lot of Regret

The Greek heroes who lay siege to Troy are equally well-drawn, particularly the enigmatic and conflicted Achilles, played by Johnny Harris. Harris brings a sense of vulnerability and introspection to the role, capturing the legendary warrior's notorious rage and vulnerability. Meanwhile, the Spartan King Menelaus, played by Aimee-Ffion Edwards, provides a nice foil to Achilles, embodying a more traditional, old-fashioned sense of honor and duty.
